*Smack! Smack! Smack!* ...
Inside the Night Palace.
The terrifying sound of whipping echoed like thunder throughout the empty night palace, making the castle shrouded in darkness seem even colder.
King Elune, wielding a long whip, kept waving it at the man not far away.
The long whip, imbued with magic, has enough power to crack a hard floor tile with each lash.
Lorraine at this moment.
His hands were bound, and his original military uniform was stripped off, leaving him only wearing a pair of bare underwear.
Each lash would instantly leave a long, bloody welt on his body.
Fragile flesh and blood are simply no match for the power of the whip.
After more than a dozen rounds of encouragement.
Lorraine's body was completely covered in blood, with mangled, torn flesh everywhere. Even the floor of the hall was stained with Lorraine's blood...
He was knocked to the ground again and again.
But he got up again and again, and even such excruciating torture did not make him utter a single scream.
Lorraine silently endured all of this from beginning to end.
*Smack!*
Another heavy lash struck his face, knocking him to the ground. His severely injured body finally gave way to muscle spasms, causing him to collapse to the ground, blood gushing uncontrollably from his mouth.
Even so.
Lorraine remained silent, without screaming, begging for mercy, or uttering a single unnecessary word.
And from the beginning until now...
In front of everyone present, Queen Elune had been whipping this man for almost an hour. His stubbornness far exceeded her understanding of ordinary humans.
Could an ordinary man without any magical powers really endure such pain?
finally……
The one who was beaten did not give in; on the contrary, the one who did the beating was exhausted and had a sore back.
It was clear that almost no part of Lorraine's skin remained intact.
He lay on the ground, convulsing and vomiting blood.
Such a cruel scene even made Rokomuska and Lebelbloom, who were bystanders, feel a pang of pity.
Sister Chigan also began to genuinely admire this man she had just met.
That level of torture would be impossible for even a simple person like Lorraine, who doesn't even have magic, to endure for such a long time without uttering a sound, let alone Sister Quigant.
Is this man... really still human?
Does he really not feel pain?
——
Seeing Lorraine's stubbornness, Queen Elune was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She couldn't help but step forward and wrap her whip around Lorraine's neck, pulling the blood-covered man up from the ground.
She yelled at him, "Even in this state, you still refuse to talk! What exactly does that guy Vena want from you! I've made it very clear: hand over what you have, and I might spare your life out of pity. But if you continue to resist, don't blame me for beating you to death!"
King Elune was certain that Lorraine possessed a special treasure.
Otherwise, Vena would never have cared so much for a man who didn't even have magic.
This man could not possibly have a value far exceeding that of their entire royal court.
originally……
She never intended to go to such lengths for this man.
But this man was too stubborn. Since he was captured, he hasn't uttered a single word. He's been like a mute the whole time, no matter how much they questioned or beat him.
Lorraine made no comment.
Even after being beaten to the point of near death, Lorraine did not relent.
And now, facing Elune, who was glaring angrily at him and loudly questioning him once again.
Lorraine's eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth as she stared intently at King Elunor before her.
A cold, piercing gaze.
Unconsciously, this inexplicably instilled a sense of fear in King Elune.
She quickly realized this and became even angrier.
She began to tighten the whip wrapped around the other person's neck, and the feeling of suffocation... instantly began to occupy Lorraine's entire consciousness.
"Are you going to talk or not?! Talk or not?! Lorraine, I don't believe you're really not afraid of death. Don't think that Vena will protect you, or that someone will come to rescue you. Unless you honestly confess everything, otherwise... what awaits you is only..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Lorraine suddenly spat a mouthful of blood all over her face.
The intense heat caused King Elune to cry out in surprise with a soft "Ah!"
I wiped my face with my hand.
King Elune immediately saw the blood covering her hands. Realizing she had been sprayed with blood, the humiliated king was enraged once more. "You bastard!!!"
She released the whip, but kicked the other person hard.
Lorraine was kicked away.
The bloodstains on his body left a long trail following the direction he rolled down.
"Ugh, cough cough!"
Lorraine, who had rolled to a spot not far away, coughed up blood again, his consciousness fading rapidly.
